When Doggies Say “I Do…”

If dogs could talk, what would they say on Valentine’s Day?

When Dogs say “I do!”

Some said, “I do,” at the Love-A- Stray fundraiser held at PAWS by the Lake in Avon Lake last weekend.

“I woof you,” was heard over and over as a make-believe minister made doggie dreams come true! Red rose paper confetti was dropped and pet owners were asked to intertwine the leashes of the brides and grooms for eternity. Wedding rings were even exchanged!

There was also a Valentine’s Day kissing booth set up for photos. The cause? Love -A -Stray, the local animal adoption agency that relies on donations to find homes for dogs and cats.

“They have been dating for about a year, so they are very comfortable together,” reported one dog owner as her pet and mate prepared to walk down the aisle.

The Hearts & Paws “Pooch Pawty” & Adoption Event took place Sunday, February 5. The Grateful Dog Bakery and D.O.G. Apparel teamed up with Love-A-Stray and FIDO’s Companion for this Valentine’s Extravaganza at Paws by the Lake.
